• Shares of Ecovyst (NYSE:ECVT), formerly known as PQ Group Holdings, rose 6.7% on a report that it's working Goldman Sachs to explore a sale.
• The chemicals company is in discussions with a small group of possible acquirers, largely private equity firms, according to a Dealreporter item. Strategic interest is likely to be limited, though W.R. Grace appears to be a logical suitor.
• Earlier this month, Ecovyst Inc. appoints Christopher Evans to lead investor relations.
